HiS Radeon X600 XT iCooler VIVO review -

Huh PCI-Express ?PCI Express is a new development in I/O interconnect standard that companies like ATI and many others will deploy in future graphics solutions. Basically it's going to replace the traditional AGP bus over the next year or two. With up to 4GB/s of one-directional and 8GB/s of concurrent bandwidth, users are free to have high-speed graphics output. PCI Express significantly increases bandwidth between the central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU). The differences between ATI and NVIDIA (NVIDIA HSI/ATI Native) can be discussed and argued. As far as I'm concerned it just doesn't matter as long as it works properly and performs as expected.
